Public Arts

The Stadium and Exhibition Center Art Program was launched in 1998, enabled by a voluntary $1.75 million contribution from First & Goal Inc. In 1998, a request for qualifications yielded a total of 254 responses from around the United States and Canada. The artists featured in the program were selected by a 11-member Art Selection Committee.

Juan Alonso New, Seattle

Four Zones, 2001

Mr. Alonso produced a series of four paintings, each measuring 6' tall and 10' wide. The paintings depict floral imagery, for which the artist is known, and are exhibited at the south entrance of the Club level in the Stadium.

Bob Haozous, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Earth Dialogue, 2002

Mr. Haozous' installation of the stadium's North Tower is assembled from four 24-foot diameter painted steel discs. Although inspired by symbols that are part of his Warm Springs/Chiricahua Apache heritage, Haozous believes that the forms and colors of the artwork have universal meanings. Specifically, the artwork is intended as a constant reminder of our deep connection to the earth. According to Haozous, the lowest disc, depicting a stylized cityscape, represents our contemporary, man-made world. The green disc above it symbolizes life and growth, but its human figures are flying away, suggesting the loss of man's direct tie to nature, or in a more hopeful reading, a return to those ties. The third disc honors the sun, highlighting our depended on the natural world and the redemptive powers of nature. The top disc is a collection of man-made clouds, meant to suggest the immensity of the natural environment.

Susan Point, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Point-Grate, 2002

Ms. Point's artwork for the stadium consists of two distinct projects; a band of cast bronze bas-relief sculptures at the base of the North Tower and all the tree grates for the entire Stadium & Exhibition Center. The pattern of bronze bas-relief sculptures at the base of the North Tower (in an arc that outlines a portion of the former footprint of the Kingdome) is composed of four designs intended to represent world cultures. The tree grate designs are based on the designs of spindle whorls-stone flywheels attached to the tools the Salish used for spinning yarn.
